What regions are the BR Manos (and the projected Atomic Brain)? I see that Manos is listed as A/1 (USA) and therefore not European compatible. Is that correct?

I don't know what the hell is up with that LP cover though, the movie does not feature that house, a giant hand picking up that house or people falling from said house. It doesn't look bad, just kind of a weird choice

It's inspired by 60s movie posters and looks awesome. You can still buy a screen print of it on Ben's fundraising store

Oh, I didn't realize it was part of the fundraiser. That does make a cool poster

New Atomic Brain video update. What's cool is it looks like Ben will be able to include an alternate take with the original "Monstrosity" title sequence. In an earlier Kickstarter update, he said the only known Monstrosity print in existence was suffering from vinegar syndrome and that it was questionable if they'd be able to save the sequence. Looks like they pulled it off.

I don't know if Ben pops in here still, but who do I contact if I never received my backer copy of Manos? I tried to contact Ben about a change of address before the shipping began, but I guess it wasn't all that successful on my part.

I see my local indie (The Tropic, Key West) has a one off screening on Saturday morning of all times. Anything to do with Ben Solo's print, or just a random unconnected screening? I'm kind of tempted as I'm sure I've not even seen the MST3K version all the way through.

So Nicki Mathis has made new recordings of her "hit" songs from Manos: - Magic Circle - Forgetting You And yes, they're going to be part of the Manos Returns sequel. I'm still not sure how I feel about that one.

Didn't see the thread was still alive until just now. Unfortunately I couldn't participate in the initial kickstarter funding at the time, but have since got it on bluray. Great job Ben Solo - if you're still reading the thread.

Well poo poo. Once the GoFundMe is up, we should pass it on to Joel and Rifftrax for signal boosting. I would think Shout and Synapse would be jumping on to help, too.

Ballz posted:Well poo poo. Once the GoFundMe is up, we should pass it on to Joel and Rifftrax for signal boosting. I would think Shout and Synapse would be jumping on to help, too. We're now live on GoFundMe. Despite everything, during the fight over the Restoration we never had to resort to fundraising our legal fees. However, because it's years later, the deadline is too close, and some trademark examiner didn't use Google, here we are. It was Joe Warren himself that originally tipped me off about the trademark submission- he forgot that we're still friends on Twitter. And Ian, being Ian, was already monitoring the situation by the time I talked to him about it. Since the application had very little chance of succeeding, discussing a hypothetical worst case scenario with a lawyer seemed more therapeutic than anything... but now I'm glad we did it. Keep in mind this isn't only about enabling future access to the film itself, but any and all works derived from the original that make use of the title. Shout! Factory is probably too formidable for Joe to take on successfully, but judging from his past behavior it's the people that have made things on a low budget, from puppet shows to coloring books to independent sequels with the surviving cast, that he will target first. We're all putting our heads together, trading notes, and throwing in what money we can, because once our window to challenge the trademark closes, it'll become significantly more difficult and expensive to undo the damage.

Now the picture starts to become clear. Time to get the word out, again. EDIT: Will you please keep us updated, Ben? Either here or through the KS updates? Glass Joe fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Jan 27, 2017 |

Glass Joe posted:EDIT: Will you please keep us updated, Ben? Either here or through the KS updates? With pleasure. Didn't take long for Satellite News to get on the case, and Jackey just got interviewed by Geeknation for a feature that'll appear in a few days. Word is they interviewed Joe Warren as well, so it should be about as good a compare and contrast as the Playboy Article. AV Club has already jumped into action with a nicely hyperbolic article. If you browse the comment section there you'll also get an interesting sample of what we've been dealing with for the past five years:

I donated. Manos really does belong to all of us. Watching it as #1 on Turkey Day with my husband and daughter was a highlight of my Thanksgiving this year. Joe is a sad individual and I hope at some point he can let this go. I would like to think his father would be validated by all of these fan projects instead of threatened by them. Joe should be proud that Manos became part of the zeitgeist instead of trying to figure out how many tens of dollars can be squeezed out of it.

Jackey has been very vocal about the need to keep this movie accessible, so naturally Joe Warren felt she deserved a lecture on Facebook. This is why lawyers are preferable. Even if you cannot personally donate, share the fundraiser around. Having more people's eyes on this nonsense has already made a big difference.

Any update, Ben? I saw you were able to raise about half of what you had asked for on the GoFundMe. Hope that's enough to at least get the ball rolling... As an aside I just got a "shipping soon" notification for The Atomic Brain restoration, so yay on that front, at least.

Got my Atomic Brain/Monstrosity Blu Ray and UHD copy today. It looks and sounds amazing (or at least as amazing as it ever will) and putting the film into its proper aspect ratio really enhances the atmosphere of the film. My only disappointment is that the UHD copy only has the film without any of the special features (including the commentary track) despite there being extra space on the USB drive it comes on.

I think any surviving artwork from the movie is in the possession of Hal Warren’s son. So it might as well be lost forever.
